AI Summary

This bill proposes to increase the veteran allowance for public retirees in Massachusetts. It amends the state's General Laws to provide an additional yearly allowance of $50 for each year of creditable service, up to a maximum of $1,000, for veterans who are members of Group 1, Group 2, or Group 4 in the state's retirement system. The bill also allows retirement systems to accept these provisions by a majority vote of their board, subject to approval by the local legislative body. The provisions of the bill are prospective, meaning they would not entitle members to any retroactive benefits.
